UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WAS DRIVING ON THE 5 FWY AND HEARD A GRINDING SOUND SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. MY CAR THEN WOULD NO LONGER DRIVE. A GROUP OF GENTLEMEN HELPED ME PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND WE PUSHED IT OFF THE SHOULDER TO THE GRAVEL. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TO TAKE ME AND MY CAR 92 MILES TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I SERVICE MY CAR. I HAVE A STELLAR SERVICE RECORD WITH THE HONDA DEALER AND HAVE ONLY DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES PER YEAR. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED TRANSMISSION. THIS IS THE SECOND HONDA ACCORD V6 WHERE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED: I HAD A 1998 AND IT FAILED IN 2006 WITH APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE AS THE 2007.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I HAVE A RED 2007 HONDA ACCORD THAT I'VE ONLY HAD FOR A FEW YEARS AND THE PAINT HAS PEELED ALONG WITH ITS CLEAR COAT MAKING IT LOOK RUSTY ON THE HOOD AND TRUNK OF THE CAR. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S DUE TO THE QUALITY OF PRIMER AND PAINT THAT HONDA USES. I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE FIX THIS ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY 2015. THE CAR HAD 2 OR 3 PREVIOUS OWNERS WHO DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF KEEPING UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE. THE CAR HAD ALSO JUST BEEN INSPECTED IN SEPTEMBER OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF RELOCATING TO THE WEST COAST WITH MY FIANC. FOUR HOURS AWAY FROM OUR FINAL DESTINATION, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON. I QUICKLY GOT THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT COMPLETELY DIED. MY FIANC AND I HOPPED OUT THE CAR TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD. BY THIS TIME YOU COULD SMELL THE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, BUT A FIRE WAS NOT VISIBLE LOOKING DIRECTLY UNDER THE HOOD. ANOTHER DRIVER, WHO HAPPENED TO BE A FIRE FIGHTER, WHO WAS ON THE SAME HIGHWAY STOPPED AND TOLD US TO BACK AWAY FROM THE CAR BECAUSE THERE WAS A FIRE UNDERNEATH THE CAR. ONCE WE MOVED BACK, WE WERE ABLE TO SEE THE FIRE UNDER THE CAR ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE (IF YOU'RE FACING THE CAR). WE COULD ALSO SEE THAT THE FIRE WAS MELTING SOMETHING. YOU COULD SEE THE SUBSTANCE MELTING TO THE GROUND. THE FIRE FIGHTER CALLED THE POLICE AND INVESTIGATED THE FIRE HIMSELF. HE SAID THAT IT WAS SOME TYPE OF WIRING ISSUE AND THE FIRE DEPT. CONFIRMED THIS AS WELL WHEN THEY FINALLY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO INSPECT THE CAR. HE AGAIN STRESSED THE FACT THAT WE NEEDED TO STAY BACK BECAUSE THE CAR COULD BLOW AT ANY MOMENT, WHICH WAS DEVASTATING NEWS BECAUSE EVERYTHING WE OWNED WAS IN THE CAR. THANKFULLY A POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED AND DIFFUSED THE FIRE. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE, BUT I DID NOTICE THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION FOR SOME ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS CAR AND I ONLY HAD IT LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE 1 PAYMENT TO MY FINANCE COMPANY. I JUST WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION TO PREVENT ANY OTHER INCIDENTS. *TR

SEATS
THE DRIVER SEAT TO THE 2007 HONDA ACCORD IS INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE. I BELIEVE IT CAUSES POOR POSTURE AND OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR CONSISTENTLY ON MY DAILY COMMUTE. I COMMUTE A DAILY ROUND TRIP OF 1.5 HOURS. IN 2012 I NOTICED HOW UNCOMFORTABLE THE SEAT WAS BECOMING. I COULD NOT FIND A GOOD POSTURE, AND ULTIMATELY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINTS WITH COMORBID SPINAL PAIN AS A RESULT OF DRIVING IN THE CAR. I AM NOT OVERWEIGHT, VERY SLIM ACTUALLY. I HAVE NO OTHER PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. MY WIFE ALSO COMPLAINS THAT THE SEAT CAUSES HER BACK PAIN WHEN SHE USES IT TEMPORARILY. THE HEAD REST PROTRUDES AND PUSHES THE HEAD FORWARD INTO A CHIN-TO-CHEST POSITION. THE SIDES OF THE SEAT CUP THE SHOULDERS AND BACK, PUSHING THE SHOULDERS FORWARD AND PROMOTING A SLOUCH OR SIDEWAYS SITTING POSTURE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

AIR BAGS
ON JULY 7TH, 2012, I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON ROUTE 113 NEAR MILFORD, DE WITH MY WIFE AND GOING THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN THE SIDE AIRBAGS IN OUR ACCORD SUDDENLY DEPLOYED FOR NO DISCERNIBLE REASON. WE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING, THE CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AS WAS THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO US. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE THAT VERY WELL COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT, AND MY WIFE SUSTAINED ABRASIONS TO HER ARM. WE CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY HAD US BRING OUR VEHICLE TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP FOR AN INSPECTION (WE LIVED IN HOBOKEN, NJ AT THE TIME), AFTER WHICH THEY INFORMED US THAT A SENSOR UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE SHOWED SIGNS OF DISTRESS/BEING STRUCK, WHICH TRIGGERED THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. WE WERE SKEPTICAL THAT SOMETHING WE COULD NOT/DID NOT FEEL WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS, BUT AFTER MUCH BACK AND FORTH WITH HONDA, IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE ONLY OPTION WE HAD TO GET OUR VEHICLE FUNCTIONING AGAIN WAS TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM, WHICH WE DID, RESULTING IN OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS TO US IN THE FORM OF OUR DEDUCTIBLE AND OTHER RELATED EXPENSES. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF INSTANCES OF FAULTY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS, WITH HONDA BEING ONE OF THE USUAL SUSPECTS, WE WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO FORMALLY LOG YET ANOTHER INSTANCE. *TR
